Poodle Clip: Dog Grooming Services – Frankie the Toy Poodle

Frankie is a 2 year old Toy Poodle.

As her hair continually grows she needs to be clipped to keep her hair at a practical length. Clipping a dogs coat doesn’t mean it’s going to be shaved right down to the skin. Regular grooming and brushing in between visits means you can keep whatever length you like! If a dog of this type doesn’t visit the salon often, or doesn’t get brushed often, it can lead to knotting and matting of the hair which often means the only possible option is to shave the dog. Shaving the dog in this instance is the safest and most gentle way of removing the matting. Matting is extremely painful for dogs, so the best option is to groom regularly to prevent this from ever happening.

Frankie being a young excitable poodle, it has taken her a little while to get use to grooming. In the below picture you can see the progress of her grooming as she gets better and more use to grooming! She receives a nail clip and poodle ‘points’ which is a shaved face, shaved top of tail and shaved feet. This is the standard look for a poodle and keeps their face, feet and tail area clean.

Progress as Frankie gets used to grooming!

When Frankie isn’t at the salon she enjoys spending time with her human sister, going for long walks and playing with her ball!

Dog Grooming Reviews & Client Testimonials

I can't recommend Scooby & Friends highly enough. We have 3 gorgeous greyhounds who adore Sarah and love their trips to the salon.
One of our girls is particularly shy and cautious of humans and Sarah has worked very hard in building up her confidence. It's amazing to see how far she's come, she will even jump on the grooming table herself, it must be love!
The girls come home looking and smelling beautiful with a cute ribbon to boot.read more

What an amazing talent Sarah has! My dog loves his visits and always comes back happy. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
